I stopped watching BKXC when it felt like it was more about him as a “brand” than shredding trails.
On the other hand I know nothing about Nate Hills. All I know is he shreds and I love it.
To be fair it seems online video needs persistent eyeballs to be viable, you can’t output a quality edit once a month.
I guess quantity over quality is the name of the game for now. But maybe like Netflix, online content can transition from flooding us with whatever, to focusing more on delivering quality over a regular period of time.
But seeing the direction of YouTube, and the type of content they push, I wouldn’t hold my breath. Just like Netflix beat traditional media, we need a another HBO/Netflix to compete with Traditional YouTube. Maybe we can get a Netflix-U or Netflix-Indie for an extra $3 a month that has quality small content creators.
I’d pay $3 a month for one or two quality adventure edits a month. But paying $3 a month to watch 12 vlogs?No thanks.
